Would pick it up out of curiosity and obviously it's bound to have characters I like but not really that interested... I'd be content with SNK being a KOF machine

No Washizuka will be terrible, but I take the loss if it means the game gets made.
I hope Vanessa joins him. Come on, SNK, stop making me fucking beg for her. She finally made it in to KoF again, keep her a stable addition in all your games. Yes, Samurai Shodown Vanessa SHOULD be a thing.

lol love how we can name 60 characters and still not be satisfied with the roster. SNK has the best characters

No one from WW7? Dang.
For some reason, I think the list seems off due to the low KoF rep count. I would think they'd throw in more there. Also I kind of think that they'd add a Metal Slug Attack OC.

I really wouldn't, as much as I love KOF.
Won't feel like SNK is truly back until they start making things other than KOF.
Some new IPs would be pretty damn nice too.

This needs to happen.
That feel when a 50 character base roster gets announced and there are still tons of people unhappy that their faves didn't get in.
It's a good problem to have.

I'd love this to be true, but that roster is just really odd to me. So many returning characters from the original but no Shiki, Goddess Athena (I mean I can kinda understand if they wanted to go with Psycho Soldier Athena instead), Shermie, Mudman, or Akari makes me sad. On the other hand, it seems they're really intent on adding pairs and not have "odd one outs" which makes sense (but then you'd have John Crawley and Mr Big which seems random).
I'll be honest though, I'd choose this over a new SS any day.

Ahh. That explains why it never cameos with any SNK game, even when SNK loves to have cameos.

That's true. But I also don't understand the relationship between Sunsoft and SNK. For example, I own both volumes of the Neo Geo Online Collection for the PS2 (pretty much every Neo Geo MVS fighting game SNK had released up to that point), and one of the discs is specifically the "Sunsoft Collection" which includes Waku Waku 7 and Galaxy Fight.
NGBC2 isn't KOF, though. I think it makes far more sense to play it safe at first with an "outlier" game like NGBC, versus what at this point is SNK's best-known and strongest fighter franchise.
Like, even with a new SamSho, I bet we get a super-safe roster at first. Everything not called "King of Fighters" has to be re-established to some degree to the larger audience.
Okay you know what I'd die to see a samurai-era reworked Mai come to SamSho. She's already got a weapon so it could totally work.
That'd​ be so sick.i love SVC even though it's not highly regarded.
NGBC, for all intents and purposes, was SvC Chaos' "sequel".
There just wasn't any Capcom characters that time around, so it was just all SNK and ADK fanservice, instead.
You need to add an
/s
But yeah we need more SNK threads on gaf.
I'm expecting a Samurai Spirits announcement soon (just personal speculation, I have no insider info).
The cast list seems a bit too close to the original, and I'm not entirely convinced, but it's still a nice prospect.
No Tung in there, but his transformations can be trickier to handle in 3D if the engine also has to support a tag system, I guess. Similarly, Akari's yokai summon super is way simpler to implement in 2D than 3D.
The original had a pair pattern to it (check the select screen, there stuff like Team Old Guys of Tung and Lee in matching locations on opposite sides), but not all got team supers, only the more famous characters got those - hopefully they have the time to cover that properly in a newer game.
For example, in the AoF games Geese and Big have an uneasy partnership, and John Crawley works for Big, so that'd still apply.

Damn right!
Ngbc didn't had like 4 specific designs for each character that would only appear when they were hit by a very specific move =P
How is that a problem?
OT, they should have done cel-shaded for KOF XIV. I love the game but it sure is ugly. Hell, MvC:I looks like fuckin Uncharted 4 by comparison.
Looking at Roster:
Should read "Fu'un KE" but the word Fu'un is listed under Metal Slug characters.

all my loli wolf companions are so moe
why did they remove one of the last blade and world heroes characters 
this was what SVC would have been if SNK was allowed time to give polish to that game
technically speaking, NGBC is the SVC sequel

Would be great to see a sequel.

Smells like fresh rosebuds
Surprised.
I'm gonna assume going forward a new KoF is probably going to be perpetually in development, but I thought a new SS would come next or Garou 2. NGBC is a weird franchise to revive without reviving more SNK franchises.
FFS we haven't even had a new Metal Slug in ages not counting mobile games.

Because if I want KoF style gameplay, KoF 14 is readily available.
This looks like they are aiming for a different playstyle so I'll be a little optimistic about that.

No offense, but those two characters are some of the worst designs SNKP made and really epitomized their downfall.
Ai in particular was a headache.
